"With recipes adapted from her grandmother’s sandwich shop in Vietnam, Linda Nguyen and her husband Ronnie have created a legacy of their own in Houston with Roostar’s banh mi. Here, baguette loaves are chock-full of flavorful fillings, including chopped rib-eye, fried pollock, and the “special” combination of juicy sous vide pork belly, ham, and savory pate. Make it meatless with Impossible protein, crispy tofu, or avocado. If you’re looking to lessen the endearing crunch, skip the bread altogether, and opt for a bowl or lettuce wrap." - Minh Truong, Brittany Britto Garley
